Greetings,

Here is a new book, which discusses the links between body
size and human longevity:

uman-longevity_08.html

Specifically, this book has a chapter entitled:

Body Height and its Relation to Chronic Disease and Longevity

Perhaps this book may deserve some discussion here, or at the
weblink listed above.

Key words: Body size, Human Longevity, Laws of Scaling,
Height, Obesity Epidemic, Catch-up growth, Body Mass Index,
Human Height, Chronic Disease, Diabetes, CVD, Cancer,
all-Cause Mortality, Birthweight, Rapid Growth, Nutrition,
Allometry, Survivorship, Thomas T. Samaras, Andrzej Bartke,
C. David Rollo

Kind regards,
